When do you say enough?

Oh poor guy, cry me a river! Try juggling a new SPS addiction when your entire display is 12 gallons.

Seriously you have to make difficult decisions but know the corals you give away will prosper and give pleasure in someone else's home.

ya, I can see your point. 12g would take me about 7 minutes to fill. I just can't decide which corals have to go...

not sure getting them to you would be easy The frag tank/swap tank is a good idea, but all my corals are mounted directly to the rock, and not easily swapped in and out. To remove anything at this point is close to surgery -lol

Do what I did, take frags of all the corals you want to keep, remove all the rock and replace with new stuff......

Hmm.. I can relate. Only been into this hobby for 11 months and I've gone from the initital 22g nano, then bought a 12g nano for "overflow" corals and to the current 75g tank that is so full I am using Mag Disk coral frag mounts to allopw myself to use the glass walls as real estate. I have acros pointing into the tank.
I work in addictions, sometimes I look at my tank and think "what the heck is the big deal?" Then look closer and think "wonder if there is room for another, bluer SPS"

Thankfully(?), I am moving into a house in a few months.. I think the addiction will overcome any semblance of self control.
